    A few problems with this game: 1) cardio is all jogging - yawn! 2) the controls don't always read user movements, which is demotivating 3) it seems that the total calories burned is cumulative, rather than session-by-session, which makes it hard to compete against yourself.

What I do like: having one more Wii workout game gives me a bit more workout variety, and it's easier to do with a toddler running around than most other cardio exercises. Tips: don't bother with the balance board: putting on a pair of sneakers and actually running in place gives you a better workout. (Note: if this is a game you really want and you don't own a balance board, you can get away with buying just the game!). Also, it's much easier to do the game using a controller in each hand rather than adding a nunchuk, as the nunchuk limits range of motion and the cord can catch on your knees, etc. when you're doing the activities. All in all, it's nice to have kicking around, but it leaves a lot to be desired!… Expand

    You get the idea – this is by no means a “gamer’s game” and it strains to make the definition of “game” in general. It’s really more of a fitness tool – a fitness tool with an unholy dose of The Biggest Loser mixed in.

    The developers could have used some coaching and beatings by Jillian to get this game into shape. Visually it doesn't look like a Wii game, and it barely makes use of Wii's motion controls.

    It's completely broken. [Aug 2009, p.99]
